FT.Monmouth1943 Posted September 21, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 21, 2022 These two came in a lot together. I believe the ARVN Airborne lighter is from 1959/60 (hard to read cause the bottom is a bit beat up) and the other is from 1950(?). Zippos aren’t my specialty, but I’ve picked up a few over the years and I really liked the look of these. If anyone knows what the numbers mean please let me know. Sorry the pictures aren’t the best. If you need better ones just let me know. - Jakob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they are researchable? I can’t imagine too many records survived the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted September 22, 2022 Share #7 Posted September 22, 2022 All I can see is he was born in 1955, as they always added 20 years to the birth day for the first numbers. I think it would be very difficult to do any hardcore research on the soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
